This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the important and remunerative business of Fire Insurance, and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire insurance presented by this country and its dependencies, is, as a commer cial s p eculation, deserving of paramount attention; and, the contract being one terminable annually, the profits or loss arising determine in like manner, year by year, and exhibit at on ce a com p an y 's financial position and its resources. W; ...e the partial remission of the fire insurance duty now in the contemplation of Government, and applicable only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com paratively limited relief from the onersus oppression, the Directors have resolved to allow upon payment for every policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex • tinction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent. To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and mercantile community, this arrange ment will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw back allowed by a few of the, older offices by way of per centage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im portance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging chiefly from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re newed at the period of the making of these returns ; whereas by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are they who will be the more substantially and at the same time promptly benefited. The concession to be thus made to the public will cere tainly be the means not only of increasing in their respec tive amounts insurances now existing, but of multiplying to a very large extent the number of insurance contracts in this country and its colonial connections. The insurable property in this kingdom alone, including its enormous and increasing importations arising from the wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to approxima te to £5,000,010,000, whereas 300,000,000 only is insured ; thus leaving nearly three-fourths of the insurable amount altogether unprotected from loss. It would be difficult to find any class of investments which has yielded such large profits as the shares of well-con ducted fire offices. The shares of the older offices have in creased in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre mium of about 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per cent on the sums originally paid up. The increased value of the shares of offices established within the last 20 years tands at from 80 to 200 per cent. 8 It is under these circumstances, and considering the ime mense field presented for operations to come, that the direc tors have taken advantage of so favourable an opportunity to offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business now adopted by them; and they have every reason to be li eve that by its special feature and the public support which that must necessarily invite the undertaking will speedily be productive of the best moneiry results. The executive will be entrusted to officers of tried experi ence in tbe business of fire insurance and the directors have already matured arrangements for them imediate establish ment of five hundred agencies. The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur ance to the public that nothing of the nature of frivolous objections to a prompt and liberal settlement of claims for compensa. rion will ever be entertained or countenanced by them. p li Forms ef apcation for shares may be had at the offices of the Company, or of the Brokers, Bankers, or Solicitors . In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Name of Bank. L iw MARINE DEPARTMENT. Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma rine insurance companies, and the extensive business they have acquired, there is ample rcom for the safe and profitable employment of capital in this direction. The vast increase in the shipping interest of the United Kingdom, together with the growing feeling in favour of the security afforded by Joint Stoax Companies as compared with private Underwriters, point to the opening which exists for this department of the Lompany's operations. The services of an able and experienced Underwrlt e r will be secured, and a large business can at once be obtained for the Company.

THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON SECRETARIES AND THEIR SUBORDINATES.—The relation in which the political chiefs and subordinates of departments stand towards each other has always been anoma lous. It is understood that the subordinate has no share in the deliberations of his chief, and can in no degree affect the Im2:tru::=3 tekeu, if he lar.ppns to diTer from that spite of this, it t 5 t,lSu understood that he defends tlle acts of his chief in the brarch of the Lzgislature in whicn he bits. This Function in itself o hard enough. It is not pleasant fur a man to have to prove that to be wise w:.ich he himself ihinlis to he foolish, or to deliver a cidogiuo upon a policy which in his own he.srt ho is exe crating. But this resignation of Mr. Lowe esta blishes a precedent which will add very serious'y to the liabilities of the luckless subordinate. HQ most now not only be advocate, but whipping-boy. If a blunder is made in this officer, he must go out. His chief, who has made the blunder, may remain in the serene heights of the aristocratic empyrean, despis• hag the convulsions which agitate the surface of popular opinion or of representative asse m bli es . ut the subordinate, whose share in the policy im pugned has at most been consultative, must suffer for measures which have not proceeded from his authority, and in which (as in the present case) he may possibly not concur. Such a system has no doubt its convenience. It combines the gratification of parliamentary indignation with the permanence of responsible officials. Under-Secretaries and Vice- Presidents may be looked upon for the future as a species of nine-pins, set up for the Opposition to bowl down. If the Opposition carry a censure; the Under-Secretary resigns. If they fail in it, ho remains. It is a perfectly harmless pastime. It amuses them, and it does not hurt the Cabinet. The Ministers who are really responsible for what has been done repose _ in undisturbed com .. placency upon the comfortable benches of the House of Lords, and content themselves with pass ing from time to time a eulogium upon the subor dinate who has been bowled over. But there is no change in Cabinet offices; for Cabinet Ministers who are in the House of Lords are beings of too exalted a nature to pay attention to votes of cen sure which a coarse p9puler essembly may pass. It is only upon such a theory that the selection ot Mr. Lowe to be the solitary victim can be justified. The censure of the House of Commons was levelled at the office, and therefore at its chief; and the im putation of having tampered, for political purposes, with the information laid before Parliament, while it has been fully removed from Mr. Lowe, rests in undiminished weight upon Lord Granville's fame. But Lord Granville, sitting in the House of Lords, treats offences Eolemtly charged upon him in the Journals of the House ot Commons as idle scolding. He is the guardian of his own reputation, There is no doubt that the doctrine of vicarious resigna tion which he is now introducing has its con veniences.. It is a marvello❑s device for rezoned- ing the official tenacity of a censured Minibter with the doctrine of Parliamentary responsibility. THE " EXAMINER" ON THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.-011 Wednesday the representatives of ail the Powers, parties to the Treaty of 1852, met by appointment at Dawning street, the Envoy chosen by the Federal Diet alone being absent. 'Whereupon, the representatives of Prussia and Austria refusing to act, a resolution was taken to adjourn till Monday next. Should Baron von Beast choose to assert the dignity of his clients still further, by again omitting to ap pear, we should not be at all surprised if a new pretext were devised for delay in commencing de liberations. Europe has stupidly looked on for foar months, during which the occupation and conquest of the Duchies has been completed by overwhelming force. Herr von Bismark now de clares, in a circular despatch addressed to the repre sentatives of Prussia at foreign Courts, and estentationey published the day after the fall of Dybbol, that Prussia considers the Treaty of 1352 as absolutely at au end ; and that its terms are wholly inadmissible as the groundwork of future negotiations. There was only wanting this last touch to complete the story of insolent and perfidious aggression. Before crossing the Eider, end long after its frontier banks had been passetd by the invaders, Austria and Prussia vehemently asserted that all t hey wanted was to enforce tho terms of that . European compact. There were some of us who diabelievod these assurances, and who said re at the time. Diplomacy put on its spectacles and conned over and over again the terms of these assurances, in which, with its usual sagacity, it professed to be much comforted. Well, where are these pledges a,w ? Unhappy Denmark herself does not any longer think them worth insisting on. She has naturally lost all faith in promises and moral guarantees and so forth. Her hurt is still right within her, and she clings with tridytng con stancy to the eventual vindication of right and justice. But she has been maimed and broken so terribly by overwhelming might, and she feels her self to have been so deserted by those who might, if they would, have served her without etriking blow, that it is no marvel if she looks without hope or trust to the results of diplomatic cogitations. Her eyes aro fixed elsewhere, and on the day when a new map of Dano-German frontiers shall be settled and initisllcd by the Great Powers, as a ' peaceful aejustment of the present difficulty, the beginning will have been made of that national movement which holds out the only real hope of compensation to the Danes for their loss of territory on the Eider. Sooner or later the various reglona peopled by the Scandinavian race were certain to be united under one Government; and from the nature of the case that government must be one essentially . popular.,":The believers in the theory of dynasties as opposed to that of nationalities, ought to have striven to preserve the severalty of Denmark as an ancient kingdom. But blindneEs has fallen upon them ; and looking at the course of recent events, and the darkness of the future, we own that we see no probability of their being able to retrieve their signal error. THE " SPECTATOR" ON IMPERTINENCE AS A PARLIAMENTARY WEAPiN.— 01 repi ilaXpeprov, the knot of young men of forty or thereabouts whom Lord Palmerston, in default of a following, puts into office and protects as if they belonged to him, have amidst many differences one quality in com mon. They all know the value of insolence as a weapon in political warfare—all affect, even when personally simple people, the hauteur which lies very near the root o the character of their chief. Ail entertain the conviction that the ability to snub can be made a social breastplate, and that an off hand address compounded of quickness and imper tinence suggests in its victims a sense of reserved power abiding in the assailant. When the house sneers at Mr. Layard, he tells members to answer instead of interrupting him, and keep silence till be has done. When an inconvenient question is asked of Mr. Cowper, he taunts the house with its inabi lity to control expenditure, or build anything which is not ugly, and bids his opponents to let him alone, for the department will go on a great deal better unassisted than if they persist in interfering. Mr. Lowe's regular practice when assailed was to de enribe his assailant as a rather unscrupulous fool, leading a knot of persons who either knew nothing about the matter or had a sinister motive in press ing their own view. There is no doubt a certain effectiveness in this style, as well as a certain justi fication for employing it. Englishmen of the better class when excited are often brusque, and political impertinence, particularly if clever impertinence, usually suggests at once courage and frankness, and earnestness in the matter under discussion. It implies, too, when used by an official, special know t-dge, the existence of a quantity of facts with which , ti`h-f3 spew.aL-er familiar, which are essential to the — hich his opponent knows nothing question, and -d Palmerston almost always whatever about. L(r, • • N n i . ence—a weapon r. Cobden's i the basis of his 11...7".. ti ha uses with real shill—talus of ig norance of " politics," or refuses to UP his in formants, because if he did "he should se.' know as little of the matter in hand as the hononi: b le, member." The average English mind, too—ann the mind of. the collective House of Commons is simply the average English mind a little puffed with prosperity—does not easily distinguish between wit and impertinence, has, indeed, invented a word— "chaff," which is peculiar to itself, and which ex press,.s the perfect combination of the two. The fu pope always strikes a cabman or the gallery of the Victoria as witty, and so it does the House of Com mons, which receives Mr, Oborne's admiration a Mr. La.} and "in his new capacity i s an advocate for common decency" with roars of hearty laughter. The victim, too, is very apt, unless a very ready as Null as a very strong man, to quail and feel himself beaten, at all events for the time. Most men are cowards when isolated, and the laughter around—laughter at the victim as well as the joke—inspires a sense of isolation. We re member one almost perfect instance of this confusion. Mr. Darby Griffith, with his usual in quisitiveness, one night asked the Foreign Secretary if it were true, as the newspapers said, that Victor Emmanuel had crossed his frontier for an interview with the Emperor.

Naval and Military Intelligence. . THE NAVY. The official trial of the double•screw steam launch, which has been constructed and fitted at Chatham Dockyard, as a tender for her Majesty's screw steamer Bombay, flagship of Rear-Admiral the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliot, C,8., took place at Chatham on Saturday. The trial shows the vast superiority of those steamers fitted with the double-screw in manoeuvring, turning, and steering, generally, to those furnished with the single propeller. The vessel experimented upon is 42ft. in length, with a breadth of beam of lift., and she has been constructed en tirely under the supervision of the dockyard officials. Her engines have been manufactured by Messrs. John Penn and Sons. They are nominally of 3 horse power, but being on the highapressure prin ciple they can be worked up to ten times that power. The entire machinery occupies a space of 6ft. by 4ft., and the engines are so constructed that the whole machinery can be bodily lifted out of the launch and placed on the deck of the vessel to which she is at tached. The weight of the whole is 3 tons 17cwt. 2qrs. 201 b. There are four cylinders, each with a diameter of 4in., and a length of stroke of Gin. The connecting rod is 12in. in length, and the diameter li r ; the piston rod is bin. The diameter of the crank axles is llin„ and the diameter of the screw shaft the same. The ;:screw propeller is 3ift. in length. The fire-grate is 2ft. by 2ft. and the length of each of the boiler tubes, of which there are 19, 3ft. 3in., and their external diameter 2tin. The total fire-bar surface is sft. ; surface of flue, 2.lft. ; and surface of tubes, 40ft.; the total heating sur face is Gift. The two screws are 4-bladed, and have a diameter of 2ft., the set of the pitch being 3ft. Qin. Each screw is driven by its own indepen dent shafting, which thus enables both to be worked in contrary directions. The quantity of coals on board was 13 cwt. At starting the draught of water, both fore and aft, was 2ft. Gin. From the above figures it will be seen that the engines are probably the awaliest ever supplied to one of her Majesty's Tessa's, nevertheless the results achieved were somewhat astonishing, and appeared to take all the spectators by surprise. At 10 o'clock the screw launch steamed from the dockyard pier, having on board Captain Stewart, C. 8., superin tendent of the dockyard ; Capt. Colin Campbell, of the Bombay ; Captain Stokes, Queen's harbour. master ; Mr. Thornton and Mr. Hutchens, master shipwrights, and others of the officials. The engines were in charge of Mr. Wiggell, from:Messrs. Penn's establishment, who superintended their working. Prior ,to the launch undergoing the moat impor tant portion of her day's tr:nls Captain Stewart directed her to be taken to the most crowded portion of the harbour, in order to test her raaucetor ring capabilities in and out among the vc.sfelti, boats, and other craft about the dockyard. At this time there was a pressure of steam of upwards of 601 b, and the screws each making upwards of 200 revolutions per minute. Before she had been out any great distance it soon became evident that the twin-screw principle enabled a vessel to be almost independent of her rudder. Acting upon this Capt. Stewart baldly directed the tiller of the rudder to be removed, and henceforward the vessel was steered solely by her screws. With a strong flood tide running, the vessel was mance avred by means of her screws with as much case as when her rudder was brought into use, and, indeed, the remarkable ease with which she was turned round boats, buoys, and other objects pointed oat by Capt. Stewart, as well as the surprising steaming powers of the minia ture craft, elicited the admiration no less than th 3 astonishment of all on board, as well as of the per.. sons who watched her progress from the dockyard and pier. After fully demonstrating to the officials the steaming and steering capacities of the screw launch she went alongside the dockyard, where some slight alterations were effected in the machinery, after which the miniature vessel's head was turned down the harbour, and a run taken towards the Nore, during which numerous experiments were made in steering the launch solely by means of her screws, with the most complete success. The time occupied in the run from Chatham Dockyard to the Camber was two hours, which would give an ave rage speed of rather over six knots per hour. The boat was also tried in making circles, when with the port screw going ahead at !all spend and the starboard screw working astern the circles were made as nearly as possible on a pivot, the average time occupied being 1'247 of a minute with the engines making 310 revolutions per minute. During the run to and from the Nora the engines worked with the utmost freedom and regularity, the boilers giving a pressure of 601 h. of steam, the average number of revolutions of the screws being 320 per minute. Altogether, the trials were deemed a complete success as establishing the superiority of the double screw principle: The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Thrupp, ar rived at Spithead yesterday, fromDevonport, with men paid off from the Nile. ,6. z .' ; !‘f THE ARMY. The ship Winchester, 1,157 tong, Capt. G. V. Gideon, belonging to Mr, G. Marshall of London, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Calcutta, after a fine run of 95 days, with the following officers and troops on board :—Capt. Shiffner, 54th Regiment, in military charge ; Burg. Spar row , i n me di cal charge ; Capt. Wilkinson and. Lieut. Spencer, 82d. Regiment; Lieut. Cargill, B enga l Artillery, and, Mrs. Cargill; Lieut.

The whole were disembarked from the ship on Saturday under the superintendence of Colonel Shadwell, Assist.-Quartermaster-General, and the time expired men were sent on to the depot of their respective regiments, the invalids to the Royal Military Hospital at Nelliey and the convicts to Millbank prison. The Win chester sailed from Spithead for the Thames at 4.30 p . :13. on Saturday, with the wind light from south. ward. Two births and two dec,ths occurred on beard since les.viorg C.:lcutta.

The new cavalry barracks at Colchester are now nearly ready for the reception of troops, and it is stated that they will be occupied the first week in May by a detachment of the 12th Laneere.
